Harwin has released an informative infographic detailing the importance of autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) and the critical role that reliable connectors play in enabling their functionality across diverse applications.

As the seas and oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface, AMVs are proving to be a transformative solution for exploration, conservation, and commercial use.

The infographic showcases the current and projected growth of the AMV market, with revenues rising from $1,994.26 million in 2021 to an anticipated $4,147.97 million by 2026, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. North America and the Middle East lead the adoption of these innovative technologies.

AMVs are used across numerous sectors, including:

  • Oceanographic research
  • Search and rescue operations
  • Offshore industry support
  • Military and defence applications
  • Underwater inspections and maintenance

Key technical challenges such as path planning, power and energy management, and ensuring reliable communication systems highlight the need for durable, high-performance components.

Harwin emphasises the importance of choosing the right connector for AMV systems and offers specialised connectors for AMV environments.

The infographic also features a case study showcasing Harwin’s collaboration with VectorNav Technologies. After rigorous evaluations, VectorNav selected Harwin’s Datamate connectors for their high-performance inertial navigation systems, reaffirming their suitability for challenging environments on land, sea, and air.
